In this case "dbscan clustering" is more appropriate.

What you could do is dissolve the points based on the cluster_id field, and
then generate convex (or concave) hulls enclosing each set of points. You
won't get ellipses, but you'll get polygons describing the boundaries. (And
it would be relatively straightforward to wrap up these steps into a single
graphical model so that you have one tool which gives the desired output!).
